are being given violation tags. Any vehicle blocking the driveway of Mr. Fink, a message is
given over the loud speaker at the Ski-Tow for registered vehicle to move as a result of
ing the drive; if not moved the vehicle will be towed. Most persons,when asked why they
perked there, stated they did not know it was a residence. Vehicles on Johnson Street were
